Despite being insulated by my registrars privacy scheme, people still tracked me down, and called my home, sent letters, and in one case even dropped by for a visit.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>In another instance, a bunch of spam went out with <\/i><a class=\"externalLink\" href=\"https:\/\/tesla.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><i>tesla.com<\/i><\/a><i> as the (faked) originating address. I think it contained a virus or a link to something bad.

Coincidentally, in a recent interview with us, Angel Investor @jason calacanis (friend of Tesla CEO Elon Musk) shared a piece of advice about Tesla.com:<\/p>\n<div><i>If the person with Tesla.com decides they want to buy a nice condo or house, sure, it\u2019s a great idea [for Tesla Motors] to spend $500k or $1m buying that name.<\/i>\u200b<\/div>\n<p>Perhaps Jason knew something we didn&#8217;t?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was recently confirmed that the domain name Tesla.com has been sold to Tesla Motors, after being owned by a Mr. Stuart Grossman of California for a very long period of time.
